In July 2020, Norris discussed the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, describing it as a "monthly ninety tick" shape and stating that the downturn was "a lot sharper" than expected. He said that CIOs should "be out there banging the drums" for continued technology adoption. Norris also commented on government responses, saying that Germany had "done pretty much" well due to advantages in geography and demographics, and that he trusted the UK's death numbers "probably better than anywhere else in the world." In April 2020, Norris said he proposed taking a salary reduction, stating that "we should set an example" and that the decision took "about two minutes" to make. He described the lockdown as causing "enormous" economic damage and argued that getting the economy back was "not just an altruistic money driven thing," noting that the 2008 financial crisis had led to a greater loss of life than the pandemic. In a 2016 video, Norris articulated the company's "Winning Together" values, which he said included putting customers first, being straightforward, keeping promises, and considering the long term.
